Overview
The Rubicon Express RE1683 is a front adjustable forged track bar for the Jeep JK Wrangler, covering the 2007-2018 model years. It is a bolt-on component for 2-door and 4-door models and is designed to work with lifts from 0 to 6 inches.
It is made from heat treated forged steel to resist flex from oversized tires or heavy side loads. The adjustable sleeved collar sets axle alignment on the vehicle, and the high clearance design is designed to keep clearance through the full suspension cycle.
Key features
- Heat treated forged steel construction
- Adjustable sleeved collar for axle alignment without removing the suspension
- OE style bushings for control and handling
- High clearance design for 0-6 inches of lift
- Works with aftermarket diff covers
- Premium powder coat finish
Setting track bar alignment
A track bar keeps the axle centered under the body as the suspension travels, which limits side-to-side movement under steering and braking. Bushings and bar ends carry that load, so they wear as the miles add up. Worn parts can let the axle drift, causing the vehicle to feel loose or pull on a bumpy road.
When adjusting alignment on the vehicle, make small changes and recheck the axle position each time. Larger tires and heavy loads add stress, so the bar and its mounting points are worth inspecting after big trips. Keep the track bar ends tight and check for clicking or movement at the joints.
- Cracked or flattened bushings
- Play at the axle or frame end
- Bent bar after a hard impact
